9/11

As we said in our list of 2014-2015 TV To Watch, you need to watch The Flash. There is a lot more to this superhero on The CW than tight red spandex. Though, the suit is very nice. The Flash is one of our favorite new shows on TV.
1. Grant Gustin plays Barry Allen/The Flash in the most lovable way:
The CW/superskyblue.tumblr.com
He plays the smart-guy well, but he never tries to compete for intelligence with his even-smarter friends. He's got this hero complex that just makes you love him, even though he sometimes doesn't have his own best interest in mind. It's a very genuine performance, you never feel like Grant is trying to hard to make it work.
2. Barry and Caitlin's friendship is proving to be one of our favorites on TV so far:
The CW/stydiaislove.tumblr.com
We can't tell if they're trying to turn this into something more, which yay! if they do, but we love it as it is.
3. Barry cracks the best jokes:
The CW/thatisbarryallen.tumblr.com
We don't think he even realizes how funny he is. Honestly, he could give Spider-Man or Deadpool a run for their money when it comes to snarky humor.
4. Barry and Caitlin's drunk adventures are wildly entertaining:
The CW/thosegrantgustinfeels.tumblr.com
We really hope this becomes a "thing".
5. The Flash fights the bad guys and Cisco gives them names:
The CW/theflashgifs.tumblr.com
6. Arrow fans will enjoy all the crossovers:
The CW/stilesflash.tumblr.com
7. Learning the Flash's backstory is fascinating:
The CW/theflashgifs.tumblr.com
When we first meet Barry, he's this 25-year-old guy working at a job he loves, but isn't with the girl that he loves. It's interesting to watch his focus slowly leave his love life (but not disappear, superheroes date too) as he grows. We're just waiting for the day that Superman or Batman swing by, even if it takes years to come.
8. Finding out what the hell Dr. Wells is up to is something we all need to know:
The CW/impossiblybarry.tumblr.com
You sneaky mofo Dr. Wells! We know you're up to something and we're ready to defend Barry...on Twitter, after each episode that is.
9. You are going to be just as excited as us to hear Joe West say "I told you so!" about Wells:
The CW/andercriss.tumblr.com
He told you Barry. He even told you Cisco! No one listens to poor Joe West. You'll have your day soon.
10. The dynamics between Iris and the Flash are interesting:
The CW/thosegrantgustinfeels.tumblr.com
When will she find out it's Barry? Will she ever find out? What happens if she finds out, but it's not Barry that tells her? So much to think about.
11. The Big Bang Theory fans will find this Easter egg absolutely glorious:
im-mishi-tumblr.com
12. Spoiler Alert: We want to find out if this canon couple actually winds up together:
The CW/iriiswests.tumblr.com
We're 100% #TeamSnowbarry at the moment, but we know that Barry and Iris (#WestAllen) is endgame. Kind of like on Smallville, where you spent half the show wanting Clark to get together with Chloe or Lana, but you had to remind yourself that Lois Lane was coming.
13. Caitlin and Cisco are both insanely smart, but have their moments of dumb hilarity:
The CW/captainrayholt.tumblr.com
We love seeing two main characters on a TV show that are as smart as Caitlin and Cisco. It's refreshing to see that you don't need to be a superhero to save lives, since there is no way Barry could do it without their help.
14. The action and effects on The Flash are awesome:

Remember the day when you’d have to wait a WEEK to see the next episode of your favorite TV show? Or if you missed a season there was basically no way of catching up unless they aired repeats? That all became a distant memory as soon as we entered the age of Netflix and binge-watching. Some people do it out of convenience, but for others binge-watching is an artform – it’s a way of life. Here are some signs to see if you belong in that second category.
1. Your idea of the perfect weekend includes 13 hours of House of Cards.
GIPHY
2. When Netflix announces the premiere date for the new season of Orange is the New Black - or any show really - your reaction is something like this.
GIPHY
3. You’ve actually binge watched a show you’ve seen before. You’ve done the binge re-watch.
truvdex.tumblr.com
4. You’ve inadvertently downloaded a virus by trying to stream a TV show illegally.
GIPHY
5. You block all forms of social media until you’re done with a show, because hello? Spoilers! It's also a problem when you try to have normal conversations.
stupidfuckingquestions.tumblr.com
6. Choosing your next show to binge-watch requires in-depth research – including, but not limited to, a Facebook poll and Rotten Tomatoes consultation.
GIPHY
7. When your binge-watching catches you up to a show’s current season and you realize you’ll have to watch it week-to-week like everyone else, you react like this.
popstronomy.tumblr.com
8. Completing an entire series sends you into an emotional spiral.
GIPHY
9. When you’re stuck at work and all you can think about is finishing that season of Game of Thrones, this is you.
GIPHY
10. You subscribe to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus, HBO GO, etc. because you don't want to miss anything. Never mind that your monthly bill costs more than regular cable.

11. You’ve actually said to yourself, “Ok, just one more season, then I’m going to bed.”
fallontonight.tumblr.com
12. You’ve started watching a show when it was dark out, and finished when it was light.
lovefortelevision.tumblr.com
13. When you tell your friends how quickly you finished every season of Breaking Bad, they react similarly to this.
GIPHY
14. You keep repeating this mantra in order to justify your existence.
theodysseyonline.com
15. You show more determination and stamina with TV-watching than with anything else in your life. And you know what? You're ok with that.

There's a lot of good TV out there. So keep at it, binge-watchers. We salute you.

Actor Zachary Quinto has written a touching article to commemorate Leonard Nimoy following his death on Friday (27Feb15).
The Star Trek icon, who played Spock in the sci-fi series, passed away aged 83 after a battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and Quinto has now paid tribute to the man for his "disarming humor" and "dignity and love". Quinto, who played a young Spock in J.J. Abrams' movies based on the cult show, bonded with Nimoy when he took over the role and began seeing the veteran actor as a father-figure.
He writes, "I lost my father at a very young age, and Leonard came to occupy a space in my life that was like a father figure. I had this person that I could look to with such respect. He was refined. And he cultivated a sense of dignity and respect for other people.
"When I publicly announced I was gay, Leonard's embrace was unconditional. I shared my relationships with him. We spoke of it often during that period in my life and afterwards. He was supportive and encouraging. He met my boyfriend, and we had dinner together.
"The first thing that I really took note of with Leonard was his sense of humour. He used it to disarm people. Those who had certain expectations were often surprised by how funny he was. Wise man that he was, he never took anything too seriously, yet he was a very serious man."

Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian is reportedly in talks with bosses at E! show Fashion Police to replace Kelly Osbourne after her shock departure.
Osbourne walked away from the series last week (ends01Mar15) amid a scandal involving co-host Giuliana Rancic, who came under fire for making an ill-advised comment about actress Zendaya Coleman's dreadlocks.
Kim Kardashian's sister has now been tipped as the front-runner to take over Osbourne's role on the U.S. show, and a source tells People.com that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is already in talks with bosses at the show.
Kardashian previously showed off her fashion credentials by working as a red carpet commentator for E! at the Oscars last month (Feb15).

Katy Perry is cashing in on the dancing shark phenomenon from her Super Bowl half-time show last month (Feb15), by releasing an official costume.
The Roar singer was joined onstage by two dancers dressed up like sharks during her hits medley in Arizona and now she is giving the chance to don the big fish costumes. Releasing photos of her latest memorabilia on social media on Monday (23Feb15), she tweeted, "YOU CAN NOW BE A PROPER #LEFTSHARK WITH THIS OFFICIAL, GLORIOUS #LEFTSHARK ONESIE."
The 'Katy Perry Left Shark Belovesie' retails at $129 on Perry's website.

Movie star Vince Vaughn hosted an advanced screening of his new movie Unfinished Business for troops at Edwards Air Force Base in California on Saturday (28Feb15). Vaughn, 44, made the trip to greet troops the day before he took part in the annual Polar Plunge in his native Chicago, Illinois.
He said, "I have a lot of appreciation for the troops and have them in my thoughts a lot with everything that’s going on. It’s always a great moment for me to get a chance to come and share a comedy to say 'thank you'."
And he told reporters he considered enlisting after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, adding, "My father had served and my sister was in (the National Guard) - and I had thought about it then."

50 years ago today -- March 2, 1965 -- The Sound of Music hit theaters in the United States. In honor of the iconic film's anniversary, we take a look behind the scenes of one of our favorite movies to share some things you may not have known.
1. While singing "I Have Confidence," Julie Andrews accidentally tripped in the Von Trapp courtyard.
plummerchristopher.tumblr.com
Director Robert Wise felt it added a much needed nervousness to the song and the character, so he decided to use it in the film.
2. Julie Andrews sang "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" to the Von Trapp children between filming.
happy-thought.tumblr.com
Since Mary Poppins hadn't been released yet, the kids all thought she made it up just for them.
3. Maria never uses the Captain's first name, Georg.
iseizetheday7.tumblr.com
She calls him only Captain, Sir, or Darling.
4. Christopher Plummer traveled to the Salzburg mountains to meet Captain's nephew and learn more about the character.
Since very little information was available about Captain Von Trapp for Plummer, he and his interpreter met with Captain's nephew to learn a bit about him. The nephew described the real man as the most boring man he'd ever met.
5. The day after the von Trapp family escaped Austria, Hitler ordered the borders shut.
6. They also took a train station to Italy and safety; they didn't hike over a mountain.
durillium.tumblr.com
Salzburg is much closer to Austria's border with Germany, and neither Italy nor Switzerland are within walking distance.
7. If they had hiked over a mountain, they'd find themselves near Hitler's mountain retreat in Germany.
8. Charmian Carr (Liesl) has admitted she was attracted to Christopher Plummer, who played her father.
strippermuffins.tumblr.com
Despite the 13 year age difference, Plummer admits that the feeling was mutual. He insists it never evolved beyond flirtation.
9. Director Robert Wise didn't get along with the real Maria von Trapp when she came to the set.
lejazzhot.com
He called her "bossy."
10. In the original play, ideological differences drive the Captain and the Baroness apart.
bellecs.tumblr.com
She wouldn't stand up to the Nazis, and he refused to compromise with them.
11. Grace Kelly had been considered for the part of the Baroness, but was a bit too busy, you know, being a princess.
12. The gazebo scene with Maria and the Captain was made a silhouette to hide the uncontrollable laughter of Julie Andrews.
20th Century Fox via Everett Collection
According to Andrews, a lighting device kept making a certain "raspberry" noise every time she leaned in to kiss Plummer. After more than 20 takes, the scene was changed to a silhouette to make her laughter less noticeable.
13. The real Von Trapp children weren't pleased with how stern their father was portrayed.
plummerchristopher.tumblr.com
Maria Von Trapp had asked Wise to soften the character a bit, but the director refused.
14. Kurt's high note in "So Long, Farewell" is actually sung by Liesl's real life younger sister.
geelmi.tumblr.com
The note was out of Duane Chase's range, so Charmian Carr's sister, Darlene, sang it instead.
15. Mia Farrow auditioned for the role of Liesl.
Liza Minnelli and Sharon Tate were also among those who tested for the part.
16. Christopher Plummer admits he was drunk when they filmed the music festival sequence.
lejazzhot.tumblr.com
17. The movie is one of only four films to win both the Tony Award for Best Musical/Play and the Oscar for Best Picture.
The others are My Fair Lady, A Man For All Seasons, and Amadeus.
18. Charmian Carr (Liesl) danced through "Sixteen Going On Seventeen" on an injured ankle.
During the first take of this scene, Carr slipped while leaping from a bench and fell through glass. She wasn't badly hurt, but her ankle was injured and needed to be wrapped for the scene.
19. Even though nobody had seen how she would perform on screen yet, Julie Andrews was always director Robert Wise's first choice.
lejazzhot.com
20. Yet she almost turned down the part, fearing it was too similar to Mary Poppins.
21. The actress who played Marta, Debbie Turner, kept losing teeth during filming.
loucaeapaixonadasempre.tumblr.com
They had to be replaced with false teeth.
22. The children kept growing during filming, so lots of heel lifts and camera tricks were needed for height continuity.
Louisa (Heather Menzies-Urich) started production three inches taller than Friedrich (Nicholas Hammond); he had to wear lifts. By the end of filming, he'd grown six inches. Liesl (Charmian Carr) had to stand on a box while Friedrich didn't wear shoes to help keep their heights consistent.
23. Nicholas Hammond had to endure a bunch of painful bleachings to turn brown hair blond for the film.
24. Christopher Plummer disliked filming so very much that he referred to the movie as "The Sound of Mucus."
25. Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, and Veronica Cartwright were among those who auditioned for roles as von Trapp children.
munchkin1946.tumblr.com
As did the four oldest Osmond brothers: Alan, Jay, Merrill, and Wayne.
26. The gazebo's interior scenes were shot in Los Angeles.
The inside of the actual gazebo was too small to accommodate the dance numbers.
thoughtcatalog.com
27. The gazebo can still be seen in Salzburg, but only from the outside.
Visitors were too frequently attempting to dance along the benches and injuring themselves, so the interior is now off limits.
28. Julie Andrews learned to play guitar specifically for this role.
29. Christopher Plummer also learned to play guitar for the role...but his playing was dubbed.
strippermuffins.tumblr.com
30. Christopher Plummer asked for "Edelweiss" to be replaced.
He thought the song was trite and "schmaltzy" and asked for it to be written out. Screenwriter Ernest Lehman refused.
31. There was nobody at the altar to officiate the wedding during filming because someone forgot to wake the actor.
taddat.tumblr.com
32. Julie Andrews has also claimed that the actual bishop of Salzburg can be spotted in the wedding scene.
33. It's not really Kym Karath (Gretl) on Captain's shoulders in the final shot as they climb the mountains to safety.
GIPHY
Karath had gained a bit of weight while filming in Austria, and evidently Christopher Plummer found her too heavy to carry on his back. He requested a stunt double.
34. Which is funny, since Plummer's weight gain required his costumes to be refitted for his extra mass.
He admitted he ate and drank in Austria in order to better cope with the unhappiness he felt from filming.
35. The movie features a rare onscreen performance by famed ghost singer Marni Nixon.
She played Sister Sophia. Nixon, who had previously done the vocals for Natalie Wood in West Side Story, Deborah Kerr in The King and I, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Since Julie Andrews played Eliza Doolittle in the Broadway version but was passed over in favor of Hepburn for the film, producers were nervous to learn how she would react to Nixon's casting. Andrews approached her and exclaimed, "Marni, I'm a fan of you!"
36. Christopher Plummer has said working with Julie Andrews is like "being hit over the head with a big Valentine's Day card."
37. Julie Andrews kept getting knocked over from the helicopter's wind.
austinhomemaggiefalvey.tumblr.com
Though that iconic spin looks warm and sunny, Andrews only remembers how cold she was as she repeatedly ran across the mountain with the ferocious winds of the chopper above. She tried digging her feet into the ground without luck.
38. Director Robert Wise climbed a nearby tree in order to film that first musical number; he wanted to be able to watch the helicopter filming without getting in the shot himself.
39. Sean Connery and Richard Burton were both considered to play Captain.
40. The real Maria von Trapp makes a cameo.
In the "I Have Confidence" scene, as Julie Andrews walks beneath a brick archway, the real Maria can be seen behind her, dressed as a peasant.
41. Heinrich Himmler, famed Nazi, took over the von Trapp house after they escaped. Adolf Hitler visited him there more than once.
marypassw.tumblr.com
42. Kym Karath (Gretl) couldn't swim, so Julie Andrews was responsible for catching her when they fall out of the boat and into the water.
i-just-live.tumblr.com
On the second take, the boat tipped in a way that sent Andrews flying one way and Karath falling out the other side. Heather Menzies-Urich (Louisa) was tasked with saving her instead, which Andrews was haunted by.
43. Subsequently, Karath threw up all over Menzies-Urich after swallowing too much water.
44. The cast had to be continually hosed down in order to maintain a soaking wet look after falling into the water.
45. Liesl may have been 16 going on 17, but she was actually older than Rolfe.
ww2.kqed.org
Charmian Carr was 22 at the time she sang that song; Daniel Truhitte, who played Rolfe, is ten months younger than she is. Now who's older and wiser?
46. Shirley Jones, Anne Bancroft, and Doris Day were all considered for the part of Maria.
47. Robert Wise initially turned down the opportunity to direct the picture.
Stanley Donen, Vincent Donohue, Gene Kelly, and George Roy Hill were also approached and said no.
48. Mary Martin, wife of the producer of the original Broadway show and the first woman to play Maria made nearly $8,000,000 from the film.
fanartandstuffilove.tumblr.com
While Julie Andrews earned just $225,000.
49. According to British tabloid The Sun, it's one of the films chosen to show after a nuclear strike to improve morale.
Though this is unconfirmed by the BBC who declared it a security issue.
50. Peggy Wood (Mother Abbess) had a hard time lip-syncing along to "Climb Ev'ry Mountain."
She struggled to perfectly match the first word of the song, so director Robert Wise had her face away from camera when she began singing. When she looked at camera, she had caught up with the song enough to perfectly pass. The effect of her staring out the window in the beginning added a mystical element to the song and fit in better than originally planned.

Synopsis

On September 11, 2001, brothers Gedeon and Jules Naudet were in lower Manhattan taping a documentary on the Engine 7, Ladder 1 firefighters when Jules suddenly heard a roar from above and turned his camera upward. In doing so, he captured the only known video of the first plane striking the World Trade Center. Cameras still rolling, Jules followed the firefighters into the heart of what would soon be known as Ground Zero. Gedeon also rushed to the scene with members of Ladder 1. Over the next several hours, Gedeon and Jules Naudet captured video unlike any broadcast since, including 45 minutes of footage from within the North Tower as the rescue effort was underway and scenes of escape in the minutes before the building collapsed. The updated version, in honor of the five year anniversary of the attacks will include follow-up interviews with 20 firefighters from the same Manhattan firehouse where the documentary was originally filmed. The narration by Robert De Niro was updated as well.
